![How To Repair Chevy Truck Dash Cluster - [RYOBI SOLDER IRON]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/yMz1He0CXW8/mqdefault.jpg)
not sorry you wasted 5 minutes of time to say not a damn useful thing for Pete's sake !
I have an 06 with the same issue with the blower speeds as u do . And my auto headlight switch sometimes works , sometimes don't . I know that when I got the truck 9 yrs ago level 4 never worked on the fan speeds . Now it varies .
Same problem with my Guage cluster in my 04 Silverado. Sent it out to AutoTech Repair in Joplin MO they rebuilt it with a few upgrades I selected for $250. Has been fine since.
Glad I saw your post. Having issues with my cluster in my 03 Silverado. Live in Carl Junction so gonna talk to the folks at AutoTech. Thanks!
had a 02 inst. prob was a GRND issue on fire wall under driverside A pillar. Quick easy cheap fix
GM had a recall for the speedometer stuck. What sucks is that they would only fix it if you were under 60,000 miles something like that.
Had same problem my 2004 gauge panel. I sent out the panel and had all gauges Step Moters replaced , problem solved. Cost was a little over $100.
NOTE: REPLACE ALL MOTORS AT SAME TIME.
PlZ tell me who u went through so u have info
I know I’m late to the party but my ‘05 had all these problems and more. Chevy won a class action suit against Delphi for the majority of their gauges being defective but Chevy didn’t pass that $ along to everyone. Only certain trucks got a replacement and only the spedo. I also had an electrical short somewhere which caused my engine to just die randomly.
My truck didn't start. Needed a jump start. Before I jumped it I attempted to start it at least 3xs. After it started my oil pressure, temp, battery an fuel gauges where all reading zero an no power to my doors or windows. The Heat, rpm an speed still works. Also the cluster stays on after the key is out an doors open ...????
What was your issue? I have the EXACT same thing happening right now!
@@milltechmachineworks5457
Needed a new battery at tighten up cables
Have the same problem from what I've seen on RUclips its a GROUND wire and Fuse thats behind the motor that needs repleaced... im gonna try it and hopefully that fixes all these weird electrical problems
Did you ever get around to fixing your problem? I Had a heater core connector leak behind the motor. I was wondering if it was possibly leaking on the negative cable you are talking about. I have a 2003 tahoe
Thanks god my 2006 has 200000 miles and the blower is still going strong
Is it still going strong
Actually this was some great advice especially about the OBDII scan tool. Not everyone has the time or they just don't want to be tearing their dash apart to "properly" fix their pretty truck. If the problem isn't affecting the driveability of the vehicle then find the easiest and cheapest "other" solution - until you have no choice but to do a proper repair. Like in the middle of Winter when none of the fan speeds work.
I have a silverado 2005 with the instrument panel not working and I remember that a recall was made.... i went to a dealer and get a new instrument panel!!
Yeah that little Bluetooth module is awesome I had the very same one and just to use the free app I use torque light it gives you battery voltage vacuum coolant miles per hour bunch of stuff bunch of stuff actually The torque pro it's only $5 it also gives you your wheel speed sensor values so it won't actually give you a code that tells you what wheel sensor is bad but you can monitor the millivolts and if I recall correctly the torque light also gives you O2 sensor voltages but I could be mistaken it's a pretty slick app
The Stepper motors that drive the gauge cluster needles fail on all these clusters. There are many companies that offer a repair service. It cost me less than $100 to get the cluster repaired including shipping both ways. Repair included replacing all of the motors and led lights. He also reinforced some solder points that hadn't failed yet but were likely to fail in the future.
Hi who did you use to repair your cluster
@@angiejohnson3137 The guy I use is no longer doing these cluster repairs, but there are a ton of places that do.
I have a 03 and the cutton on the cluster sticks and changes the language. My 5th fan speed works about half the time. It's annoying they have so many electrical problems
I got the same problem on my 03 1500 ext..every time I put the turn signals on. And press on the brake pedal and my turn signal or hazard lights stop working
I may mount a military aeril dish animomitor incriptor on my chev van. That will solve my issues with whatever.
Pretty sure on that year the mileage is actually stored in the cluster itself it could be stored in the body control module as well but I'm pretty sure on those on those years you're talking about it's actually stored in the cluster
These the milage is stored in cluster best bets to get another cluster that fully working or have some one rebuild it some.peopel do it for cheap IV had it done to fix my cluster lights that went out the bulbs in it and upgrade to led lights in cluster looks way better
Damn computers . Whatever happened to the simple clean burning gas engines of the 50's and 60's no emissions no nuthin but wide open ta work on
Order new stepper motors for the cluster. Solder them in. That will fix the gage problems. I did that on my 2004 Suburban. Real easy.
I am having problems with mine.My light and the dimmer wheel knob does the same thing.I think its the gauges.Had mine rebuilt two year's ago.Mine are blinking abs and check engine light and other problems.Just ordered a new set for 250.00 on the net.
I just bought a GM cluster reman, the parts momager was to get back to me about the warranty , i will have to call Monday my after 2 months of waiting the gauges all of sudden driving down the road all the gauges quit.
Newer piece of crap that charge more than worth for used 03 Silverado. my old school novas one SS pulled out 350 built 400 SB with racing cam it never broke down. I had brake ;lines leak, bought dorman stainless kit then O2 sensor failed, abs sensor had rust build up at the plastic mount cleaned it works fine. Longer I own less i want it. Thought about 80s era upgrade it less to go wrong, wiill never buy new or newer
I'm having some issues with my 2004 Chevy Silverado 1500 4.3 liter I recently had my head's redone and now I can't seem to get it to crank u. I've replaced a lot of parts fuel filter fuel pump starter crankshaft sensor the whole ignition distributor is brand new from the rotor cap to distributor cap to the ignition new plugs new wires and it still won't crank
Replace the motors on the cluster. Ebay sells them as a ket with a soldering gun and things its easy
And only 27.00
My 03 Avalanche is doing the same thing. Only it randomly stops charging the battery. Haven't found out what's wrong with it, yet
Your cluster panel is easily fixed. I had the same problem. Less then $100 in total with led free upgrade.
Wow can you send me the link to the product on that one
Nice to know I'm not the only one who has the same problems with there Chevy Silverado. Can you send me a link to the Led instrument cluster upgrade? I want to look into that deal!
I have a 06 silverado work truck and the abs light came on. I did some research and it said there was a failure in the diagnostics cycle causing the abs to light up. Now my gas gauge stays at half full. No other problems yet, but could that be the cause?
I have recently been experiencing problems with my fob. I replaced the battery and was ready to replace it, when Batteries & Bulbs said it was not the fob, but some sensor inside the truck (2003 Silverado). Have you experienced this? My c.d. also would not eject, but I finally got the cd out, but am afraid to try another for fear I will lose it permanently. Thanks.
ok 2003 Silverado my issue is intermittant. in others words you are driving along and all of a sudden the seat belt chime starts to ring then all the small gauges on the right go to zero, I lose the indication dash on the PRINDL ABS light comes on, seat belt light comes on. Now fiddle with the seat adjuster (which is messed up because pushing it forward makes seat go backward) click it back and forth fast, EVERYTHING comes back to normal. I took off all the body grounds and re did them so that is not the issue. The seat heaters do not work, Im about to replace them but I am beginning to think that it is the module under the drivers seat that is causing the issues Any thoughts?
I have an 06 Silverado and half the dash bulbs are out, and the backlight for the headlights cuts in and out 🙄 Such a pain. I’mma take the dash cluster out soon and HOPEFULLY I am lucky enough to have one that has the twist out bulbs and not the soldered ones!
solder ones aren't to bad really.. I replaced all bulbs with T5 LED bulbs in blue. Got them off eBay.. cheap... not really hard to do and amazing result
504CreoleCrystal same!
Just do it right and replace the stepper motors. I have the same issue with the dash lights going dark but I plan to actually fix the problem :(. All your video does for me is confirm this is a common GM issue which is why I'm a Ford guy although Ford has their own set of issues.
What if it still works but only when it want to? Mine was at a stop sign today at that thing went all the way to zero? And when im on the gas it didn't wanna hit over 2000 rpm. It does who's occasional and driving me insane
dan i need your help man! what is the button on the end of rod on the left side of the steering wheel i have it on my truck and it goes alot fater sounds dumb but i cant figure it out for the life of me and how to turn it off it sucks up so much gas
1:55 did u ever find a fix my 2006 chevyy suburban does the same thing also the head lights
So I just bought an 06 Silverado 1500 with the 4.3 L Engine and my dash just goes dead no gauges function my radio will be locked and the security light will pop up on my dash any recommendations
I took out my dash and tighten the power plug in the back with a zip tie and fortunately it solved my issue.
What problems you had?
I have a 2003 1500 four-wheel drive when i hit the brakes my turn signal stops and 4 ways light up on my dash...240,000 miles. Any thoughts on this. I just replaced my blower motor resistor and this happened
I just had to buy a new one the dealer charged me 373.94 for a new one. That’s pretty good considering having your old one repaired cost ove 400. And buying a reconditioned one is about 300 then is has to be programmed that will be another 180. Just get the new one from the dealer. Give them the part number you vin mileage and hours
Damn man they charge me $700 & it won’t pass emission either
If you change the oil pressure sensor it should fix it mine had the same issue as that
funny if you read my issue above the intermittent issue I am having the oil pressure gauge was working it just quit the gauge was working but now reads 80 and when you get high RPMs it goes to zero
My 2005 silverado only charges at highway speeds, replaced alternator and battery both tested good any ideas
the blower is the resister
Have 04 installed a new battery.then the AC defaulted to heat only wouldn't reset by touching battery pos.and neg. So took it to tech he when in the computer turned off everything then turned back on.at least it's the way I understood..next time I get a battery I'll be sure my AC isn't on...
The heating problem sounds like a blower motor resistor sometimes the blower motor itself can draw too much current draw too many amps and that's what actually takes out the blower motor resistor but I've replaced plenty of resistors only and never had a problem again also some of those GM trucks were notorious for the wire harness with developed too much resistance and you had to replace the wire harness that plugs into the blower motor resistor and that was taking out the blower motor resistor as a matter of fact if I recall correctly the harness may have came with a blower motor resistor or the harness was sold separately cuz it was a known issue the heavy red wire would burn up
It's not the blower resistor, at least not in my case . I replaced that and the blower motor . The problem continued. I replaced the module on the switch . It's a harness short
I have two grou nds under h ood on drvers where should they hook up ones done where doess the second. Go
Hey there... I discovered your other videos and watched this one. Given your other technical videos. I suggest you do a search for GM stepper motors. You can remove your instrument cluster, desolder the stepper motors that drive your needles and replace them. The soldering is "through hole" type components on the circuit board (very basic soldering / desoldering techniques - easy.) There are even LED replacement options for the backlighting issues you have (or will soon have) as the incandescent lamps burn out in your cluster. Good luck and thanks for your videos.
@@Filterficial I'm looking on your page and can't find this video, really want to see how you did this! Can you post a link for me? Thanks
i wouldnt repair id get a whole new upgraded cluster. ive had mine repaired twice stil ain workin rite. now it drains my batery
Talk about the RPMs not everything else
My 05 1500 is freeking haunted. 4 and 5 blower, tail lights explode, speedo flutter and chimes.chimes.chimes. fuel gauge does this exorcist all the way around thing... 71,000 miles.Never acts up at the mech. Shop.Its getting a new radio and a chimectomy as I write this.
Blower motor resistor under the passenger kick panel easy fix get a new one off eBay 30 bucks and dinner switch is a bad contact inside the actual switch ASLO 20 bucks on Amazon and the cluster go to junk yard and find one with similar milage and easy replacement also can do at home quite easily only need basic socket set to fix it all clusters go for 50-100 bucks used IV had all these issues and done it all at home my self in under 30 minutes
Orrrrr. Just have it rebuilt😶
Hey, have you done any follow up on the dashboard illumination? I have the same problem and I am trying to diagnose the issue. Thanks.
Thanks for gettinf back to me. I ended up cleaning that dimmer switch and it seems to be working again.

I just bought an 04 1500 and my dash lights flicker on occasionally but stay dim or off most of the time. Any advice???
Very well done video my friend
My problem with my 2001 Chevy Silverado I have to disconnect the negative wire on my battery in order for my illumination lights to go off what causes that?
Kevin Davis hey bub did you ever figure out your problem. I just bout a 04 that has the same issue
@@keithrisner7408 I haven't figured it out yet. The way it looks could be a computer issue. I tried the sensors fuses and the relays and installed a new switch. I stated using the other truck plugging unplugging the battery cable got old after a while.
Kevin Davis I herd all that. If I figure it out I’ll let you know Thanks
Have you checked your grounds. There are grounds to the engine, grounds underneath the driver’s seat on the frame and grounds to the body in front of the battery but down on the frame there. These cause a lot of electrical issues with these trucks.
@@LegacyWarriorDestiny I have theft deterrent light and fasten seat belt and dash lights staying lit and a no start vehicle. Engine grounds are good. Didn't know about seat ground. Anything else you might recommend? Thanks
The rpm is pointing to 6 😂
My turn signal stops working every time I step on the brakes
I have a 2003 chevy 1500 i speedometer starter messing up like 4 years ago specially in the winter but it would always go back to working in the summer but today I crank it on and all my gauges don’t work not even my odometer nothing works any idea what could of happen to it ???
I actually made a video where I fixed the gauges. They have been working great since.
My battery guage is way above 19.
Climate control module. Next will be your blower motor control module, next will be your 4wd switch. And bro it shouldn't be in auto 4wd unless you're in the snow, it should be in 2 High.
It's refreshing to see a legitimately intelligent comment on this videos comment thread. The guy needs to replace his instrument cluster as well. If it's a rusted out jaolpy, fuck it, I get it. If it's still nice, spend a little coin and keep it nice.
Guys I have a different problem. My 06 chevy 1500 will start then stall and then my gauges start jumping very slightly. Just did it an hour ago. Any ideas?
Any luck finding out the problem?
HOLY WATER IN THE WASHER TANK AND A PRIEST WOULD BE A REASONABLE STARTING PLACE...
Truck will not turn off
Wow not helpful at all, why dont you just fix your gauge cluster. Usually the stepper motors go out. You can send the cluster to a professional.
I swapped my radio out on my 05 Silverado and when I turned it back on the airbag light came on. Any guesses? I’ve been trying to find a wire that I maybe bumped or something but it’s driving me crazy.
My truck has the same issues with the gages not working (speedometer is stuck on 120 mph). Did you fix the dash or just replace it?
I have the opposite problem either 0-20 when it doesn't work
Jeff Cortix will fix it
Why dont you just fix it right istead paying for all these getto fixes? The gauges quick working because the instruments cluster is bad. Go to the junk yard and get one cheap. Your blower motor doesnt blow on 1, 2, and 3 because the blower motor resistor needs replaced. The lights flicker because there is a short inside the switch you were turning. Its not in the wires, you need a new switch. All those parts can be bought cheap. Buy the resistor and switch new. Buy the cluster at a junk yard. You could keep the total under 100
What's getto about it stupid BITCH
If you buy a gauge cluster from a junk yard do you have to take it to the dealer to get them to set the odometer reading?
@@romeoslack2671 u da bitch
Keith Daniels just buy a rebuild kit. You can replace all of the stepper motors and lights for 20 dollars. That’s exactly what gm does. They send it off and solder in new steppers, lights, and fix solder joints. Takes maybe an hr and it’s way more dependable than buying a junkyard cluster that is most likely fucked up too!
Keith Daniels these are common issues with these trucks. So is the blower motor resistor.
im a chevy guy,but they are junk,always something
Or I could fix your blower problem and your cluster problem for 250
i can go without speedometer...my phone gps is more accurate anyways
my problem is that every time that i turn on my car the dash board shows a sign : (battery no charging )
This sucks
